10 years from now, you’re applying for a job with the government to do some weird research project. The government finds these videos and you have to answer a question about it.
Not a physics student but a math major. The other day I saw a sign for an even that said "[event name] at 3!" and I thought, for a solid moment, that it was at 6. Then I realized they probably meant 3, but this sign was near where the math classrooms are so it's like they were trying to trip us up.
The grad school equivalent of figuring out a problem after you've handed in your exam, is going over an idea you have a dozen times to convince yourself that it's correct before showing your supervisor, and as soon as you step into their office to explain it to them you realise what the problem is.
I think the astrophysics meme wasn't about how astrophysics students don't do maths. I think it was more about how they get absorbed into the cool stuff like black holes and galaxies and then the math comes from nowhere and hits them out of the ballpark. Lol.
I’m in ap physics 1 rn as a junior and I understand like 1/1,000 jokes in these videos. When he said “the static friction coefficient is . . .” I was like here is something my speed
Great channel! I'm a computer science major, but I always loved physics (I even wanted to be a physics major in high school). But now I feel bad that I don't understand half of the memes here... Looks like you're gonna make me study physics just to understand the memes! P.S. I am doing a math minor, and I feel that my multivariable calculus and differential equations knowledge is unused without physics...
I thought this came out a while ago because I saw some of your other meme reviews but then I saw the new photo of the black hole and I was like, did I just step through an Einstein Rosenberg bridge.
He. In my undergraduate tensors were taught in the second year in the discipline "waves and continuous media". We talked about... waves. Both mechanical and electromagnetic, with the importance of differential equations to solve harmonics and wave guides. If there was time we also began covering gravitational waves but the teacher warned us that we needed to have done another module to fully understand it. That module was in the next year. And then we went into continuous media where we discussed material elasticity and other fun stuff including tensors which were very useful.
14:05 :D I saw Lag. Mult. Again when I had to add restrictions to an inverse problem being solved by least squares so the solution was unique and smooth. For more info search Tikhonov regularization. Great video :)
A thing with LaTeX, I believe the way to fix a figure is to insert [h!] after \includegraphics{}. This will fix it's location relative to the text but it will still jump to the next page if it is too big.
Any recommendations for remembering derivatives and integrals of trig (including hyperbolic and inverse) functions, log functions, etc, when you have a horrible memory and are expected to know them without any tables on exams?
Andrew, could you do a video detailing the differences in Physics Mechanics and Engineering Mechanics? I’ve noticed some differences and I think it’d be a cool video.
4:52 just got through Analytical Chem, we had to do propogation of error on a homework assignment, not even a lab report, and it was awful since it wasnt covered in class.
As an aerospace engineering student I appriecate the one at the end you didn't read there xD. Jokes aside it reminds me I need to revise for my propulsion exam.
Hey just wanted to ask a question about college. I'm interested in theoretical physics and plan to make a career out of it and was just wondering if the school you go to affects your career. I ask this because I really want to go to a top notch ivy or close to ivy league school but don't think I'd make it. So will it affect my career if I go to a lesser known school?
There's sort of two parts to this answer. The first is that for the actual classes and learning part of it, it doesn't really matter, at least when you do your undergrad. Indeed, it may be a bit more efficient in the long run to go to a lesser-known school for your BSc rather than paying tens of thousands for an Ivy League. As long as you're working hard and getting the best grades that you can, you'll be okay, and once you've got a couple years under your belt, you can also look into transferring to other schools if you'd like - once you've proven that you can do well in university and achieve good grades, are committed and all that, your highschool grades just don't matter all that much. Where you do your graduate classes does carry a bit more weight, but even then it's not like you have to go to one of the top three schools in the world or anything. And here comes the second part of the answer: one of the most important parts of your career, and one of the main benefits of an Ivy League school, is the connections that you make. It's fairly well established that while grades are important, the people you meet and the connections you make can have a far greater effect on the job you end up with. So my advice to you would be to do your undergrad, or at least the first couple years of it, in the school that you think fits you best. You may find it ultimately more beneficial to go to a smaller school where you can more easily have one-on-one time with your professors, or where the class size isn't in the hundreds and you can easily ask questions, because you can more easily build a solid foundation on which to build the rest of your knowledge. All the while, meet as many people in the field that you can, reach out to professors at institutions that you're considering going to grad school at. Build a great network, work as much as you can on getting the most out of your education and everything should fall into place.

My Physics of Sci Fi professor put the "reverse cowgirl and doggy style are the same position" in one of his lectures on special relativity. It was awkward but really funny.
Andrew is 80% of the way to lumberjack. all he needs is a red shirt instead.
Lol
Where can I get that shirt !
I want to bear his children.
And be canadian
Andrew is blueshifting bro. He gotta move away from us to get a red shirt
Andrew: “I am against drinking in my videos”
Also Andrew: *Drinking and Deriving | Maxwells Wave Equations*
Don’t drink and derive.
Nischay 🤣🤣🤣

3:30 that's absurd. Everyone who's gotten through 1st year knows that a cow is a sphere, and the Earth is a vacuum.
I’m cackling at that “chad physicists” meme and Andrew’s reaction
100%=sq.rt(sq.(|Virgin|Andrew|)) ? 😆
Andrew: Really against alcohol in my video
Also Andrew: *drinks wine on video* (from the physics test video)
Also if cat wet, when cat not wet?

Andrew: "I want a figure to be here"
Latex: "Well it's going there"
My issue exactly
You missed half of the cow meme
He's probably tired of those
Had kind of an awful week but this video makes it a little better! Thanks Andrew!
I came for the memes, I stayed for your stories.
The grad school equivalent of figuring out a problem after you've handed in your exam, is going over an idea you have a dozen times to convince yourself that it's correct before showing your supervisor, and as soon as you step into their office to explain it to them you realise what the problem is.
DUDE i appear in the Video!! I'm the one that posted the brushing your teeth.
Stayed up all night finishing a physics lab report and then I get treated with physics memes. Thanks Andrew
Same. About to start another report.
I think the astrophysics meme wasn't about how astrophysics students don't do maths. I think it was more about how they get absorbed into the cool stuff like black holes and galaxies and then the math comes from nowhere and hits them out of the ballpark. Lol.
Lmao this sums up my life as a planetary scientist !
Love a fresh meme review and congrats on 50k. Level 13 RUclips boi now.

The blue and red car, at first I thought it was the wave visualization of Doppler Effect, turned out it was red and blue shift 😄
Same thing, though
andrw you forgot to click "See Full image" on the aerodynamic cow meme.
HassHansson assume spherical cow
The exclamation mark after the light is a wave/particle meme is simply genius
Calling a whole set of numbers "imaginary" is the real meme.,
Andrew I'm so happy your channel is growing!!!

Andrew, check your channel growth, I think it has gone wildly quadratic.
God forbid he has to use the second-order term.
Let keep this linear
This is a fun original series. I hope it takes off.
I thought this came out a while ago because I saw some of your other meme reviews but then I saw the new photo of the black hole and I was like, did I just step through an Einstein Rosenberg bridge.
Love this, I miss the uploads
ur meme review became my best show Tbh
I am a finance major, and I am obsessed with watching your videos, I don't know why.
Thank you for chuckling at my meme!
I laughed so hard with the "Who would live longer" meme xD
Holy shit i havent seen any vids of yours in maybe 2 months because ive been busy with school and i come back to see you on 50k?!?!?
He. In my undergraduate tensors were taught in the second year in the discipline "waves and continuous media". We talked about... waves. Both mechanical and electromagnetic, with the importance of differential equations to solve harmonics and wave guides.

Ú∏Ú congrats on 50k also, you should make a video on qft
yEEEE was waiting for this lol
that's one wholesome message at the end of the video

Great video :)
The moment when you keep refreshing until you see a new video. That's when you know.
your stories are interesting, add meat to the memes
That was both wave and particle dude. And your uncertain comment was gold.
Do I need to get wooshed?
A thing with LaTeX, I believe the way to fix a figure is to insert [h!] after \includegraphics{}. This will fix it's location relative to the text but it will still jump to the next page if it is too big.
Hey Andrew!! physics undergrad from UMD here! I think we have the same watch and I got exited lol . MVNT? anyway love the videos!
I liked the ultra violent catastrophe pun, very subtle
Any recommendations for remembering derivatives and integrals of trig (including hyperbolic and inverse) functions, log functions, etc, when you have a horrible memory and are expected to know them without any tables on exams?
Learn how to derive them yourself
Aah. I really missed these videos :D
Andrew, could you do a video detailing the differences in Physics Mechanics and Engineering Mechanics? I’ve noticed some differences and I think it’d be a cool video.
If I watch any more memes, i will remain single for my whole life.
3:55 its funny that i have 4 classes to see about ideal gases in thermodinamics and yet am here seeing this.
So fun story, we just had a conference about how to manage statistical errors and one legitimate option is to put errors on your error bars.
youre a gangster. Love the vids, keep em comin!
If they’re falling off of a building then it’s a non-inertial reference frame
4:52 just got through Analytical Chem, we had to do propogation of error on a homework assignment, not even a lab report, and it was awful since it wasnt covered in class.
Yeah I have no idea what any of this means, but nice vid my guy!
As an aerospace engineering student I appriecate the one at the end you didn't read there xD. Jokes aside it reminds me I need to revise for my propulsion exam.
Yo Andrew do you use overleaf?
8:49 "We are kinda the once, that do all the approximating." And then there is informatics students, get on our level of aoproximating xD
I dont know any physics but I enjoyed this video very much. :)
Andrew you and Kelly should play universe sandbox I want to hear your guy's perspective
Me: *raging at computer when he missed length contraction on the vehicles moving near c*
Ok, now this is epic.
Me after a year of a studying quantum physics : I still don’t get it.

@@WoWhistorian thanks i think ill try that btw the undergrads I'm thinking is CU Boulder or UC Santa Barabara.
4:10 is similar to the way med students use sketchy/picmonic for remembering info (just really dense). I wonder if there's an equivalent for physics.
Me only now learning lagrange equations watching this
LaTeX fun tip: if you write [H] after {figure} (\begin{figure}[H]), it will place your figure exactly where you wrote the code
